Meet Pam

Pam has lived in a Clarion home in Brighton for nearly 20 years. She owns her own photography business, as well as a new online store where she sells her prints and creative clothing designs.

Pam lacked the confidence, belief and skills to promote her business, and took on cleaning jobs to support herself, especially when COVID hit and her photography work began to dwindle.

However, Pam’s health took a turn for the worse as she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, which causes long term chronic pain and inflammation affecting both of her feet. She then had to sign off work and start claiming Universal Credit.

Pam went from being an avid cycler and hiker, who walked between eight and 10 miles every day, to being stuck indoors unable to do anything.

Her confidence had been knocked. She was stuck in the house, feeling demotivated, struggling to even look at her art room having lost her confidence to create.
